<< Wufei looked up at his gundam, the machine that had caused so much death. He became drunk with the guilt. How could he have let this happen? All those people! And that poor girl! All inocent... he would make Oz pay... his fist clenched and unclenched. The others where working on there gundams save for Duo who would soon come and tell him it was his turn to watch the only suvivior... the poor spoiled beauty.how long had it been since she fainted into his arms... nearly three days? The other pilots where getting uneasy staying in one place for so long. He threw the wrench he had been useing to the side and it clattered loudly, the others paused in there work for only a moment befor mechanicly going back.

"You Wu-man... it's your turn..." Duo called to him as he left the half standing building that had once been a home but had now become the sick bed of that girl. Duo went to his gundam, his on anger for himself threatening to choke him.

Wufei nodded and turned on his heel, stiffly marching into the house. He paused just outside the closed door... did he want to go in and toture himself with that half hidden face. He heard a clatter of metal and a little feminen cry of pain... not a loud sound, a muffled hush cry as if it's source would not admit to her own pain. His eye's widened as the meaning finally came to him, he threw open the door and gazed in, The girl froze, her body clad in his long white shirt, she had a look of panick and Wufei painfully notted the bandage that wrapped around her head and hid her left eye and gash from veiw.

She open her mouth as if to speak, the tray of painkillers that they had set on the makeshift night stand on the floor, its contents scattered about.

She was awake... she was half out of the bed... her mouth opening and closing as if she could not find her voice... "who..?" the very sound of her haunted voice sent shivers up his spine... he wanted to turn and run from the room but his feet were rooted to the floor. 'Who..?" She asked again... her hand extending out longingly for someone to touch, she leaned foward but no sooner nad she laid all her weight on her legs did they give out and she crumpled to the floor. She whimperd as she fell, and Wufei had found himself catching her and sinking with her to the ground slowing the painful decent.

He didn't relize how tight he was holding her until she let out little yelps of pain. He let her go, and pushed her away roughly as if she where a poisenous snake. He backed away, kicking a bottle of painkiller's across the floor... the girl hugged her shoulders, struggling to hold back the tears that she could not stop. As soon as he reached the treshhold he turned and broke into a run, slaming his shoulder into the front door. "SHE'S UP!" He shouted to his friends stumbling to reach the shadow of his gundam.

"What!? How!? So soon!?" Quatre jumped down from his gundam and ran into the building, followed closely by the others save Wufei whom leaned against his gundam, his chest heaving and his blood hot.

The others fell into her room, and ther jaws fell open, there on the floor lay the girl curled up on her side, her body racking with each painfull sob. She opened her eye and looked at them, her gaze unfocused as if she could not see them.

"Don't touch me..." She gasped between each heart wrenching sob, "please..."

She was alive...
